Lithic industries and plant processing in the Epipalaeolithic Maghreb: Evidence from use-wear analyses
Jacques Tixier, 1925–2018
Pressure Knapping and the Timing of Innovation: New Chrono-Cultural Data on Prehistoric Groups of the Early Holocene in the Maghreb, Northwest Africa
The early Holocene in North Africa remains a poorly known period, documented unequally by region. Eastern Algeria and Tunisia have the greatest number of deposits, but most were excavated decades ago without the controls and recording required for modern interpretation. The chronological framework is based on radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates that are also old, for the most part. Recent work on Mesolithic lithic industries of Western Europe has enabled u…
Re-evaluation of radiocarbon dates using Helix melanostoma shell at two Capsian sites – Aïn Misteheyia and Kef Zoura D – In the Télidjène Basin of eastern Algeria
Holocene cultural and climate shifts in NW Africa as inferred from stable isotopes of archeological land snail shells
Cultural transitions or even societal collapses have often been associated with long-term drought events. Linkages between humans and the environment are best documented in well-constrained archeological records that offer multi-centennial to multi-millennial cultural and paleoclimate data. Two Holocene Capsian sites, Kef Zoura D and Aïn Misteheyia, from NE Algeria document a marked change in subsistence strategies near 8200 cal. yr BP. Radiocarb…

Dating and redating Capsian skeletons 3A-4 and 3A-7, Aïn Berriche (Algeria)
Capsian mortuary practices at Site 12 (Aïn Berriche), Aïn Beïda region, eastern Algeria
Phytolith evidence of mid-Holocene Capsian subsistence economies in North Africa
Climatic fluctuations that occurred in North Africa during the early and middle Holocene had a profound impact on the environment of the region and would have required human populations in the area to adapt their subsistence and economic strategies in equally significant ways. Capsian groups, located in eastern Algeria and southern Tunisia from approximately 10,000 to 6000 cal. BP, were among the last North African foragers at a time when other g…

Post-Capsian Occupation in the Eastern Maghreb: Implications of a Revised Chronological Assessment for the Adult Burial at Aïn Misteheyia
The 1973–1976 excavations at Aïn Misteheyia, a Capsian site in eastern Algeria, revealed an archaeological sequence dated between 9500 and 6000 cal BP with evidence for technological and subsistence change coeval with what we now know to be the 8200 event. A human burial from the lowest levels at the site which are dated on land snail shell to at least 9000 cal BP, is dated twice on collagen, run 30 years apart by different laboratories using dif…

Are land snail a signature for the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition
Edible land snails, representing food remains, are frequently very abundant in late Pleistocene and early-middle Holocene archaeological sites throughout the circum-Mediterranean region. As such, they appear to represent a signature for a broad spectrum subsistence base as first conceived by Flannery in 1969, and therefore must be in some way related to the transition from foraging to food production. This paper investigates the implications that…
Destruction of microstructure in archaeological bone: A case study from Portugal
Sampling of archaeological human bone may not be justified, contrary to former high expectations regarding adult age assessment based on histomorphometry. The alterations in buried bone as a result of bacterial action are readily visible in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). An understanding of the chemical and structural changes to cortical bone requires work at the level of a few microns. This paper reports on problems encountered during a…

Cutmarks on Capsian human remains: Implications for Maghreb Holocene social organization and palaeoeconomy
In 1930, the remains of five adults, one subadult, and one infant were excavated from Site 12, a ca. 8000 bp Capsian escargotière in Algeria. Recently, cutmarks were found on several postcranial bones of each of the adult individuals. In an attempt to reconstruct the burial circumstances, archival materials including photographs and field notes were retrieved from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and the Logan Museum at Beloit College, a…

Healthy but mortal: Human biology and the first farmers of western Europe
What do we know about the effects of the transition to agriculture on human biology? A literature has grown up that gives us the impression that we know a great deal about what happened to bones and teeth when people became sedentary farmers. A review of the sources of these ideas and the evidence supporting them, especially based on work in Portugal, reveals that a reconsideration of the biological consequences of farming in Europe is overdue
